• The Littlest Elf...53 pages

I love the Littlest Elf....the theme of this book is one all kids can relate to. Oliver wants to have a job at the North Pole, but it seems he is too little for most of the jobs!

Until he meets a little reindeer with the same dilemma...and Santa notices what they've done. It's a great book by the same author as The Littlest Pilgrim...so if you read that in November, this is a great text to use in December!

Also wonderful for introducing the Elf in your classroom!
